Our Triune Pod

Psalm 119:137-144

Sadhe

137 You are righteous, O LORD, *

and upright are your judgments.

138 You have issued your decrees *

with justice and in perfect faithfulness.

139 My indignation has consumed me, *

because my enemies forget your words.

140 Your word has been tested to the uttermost, *

and your servant holds it dear.

141 I am small and of little account, *

yet I do not forget your commandments.

142 Your justice is an everlasting justice *

and your law is the truth.

143 Trouble and distress have come upon me, *

yet your commandments are my delight.

144 The righteousness of your decrees is everlasting; *

grant me understanding, that I may live.

Psalm 65

1 You are to be praised, O God, in Zion; *

to you shall vows be performed in Jerusalem.

2 To you that hear prayer shall all flesh come, *

because of their transgressions.

3 Our sins are stronger than we are, *

but you will blot them out.

4 Happy are they whom you choose

and draw to your courts to dwell there! *

they will be satisfied by the beauty of your house,

by the holiness of your temple.

5 Awesome things will you show us in your righteousness,

O God of our salvation, *

O Hope of all the ends of the earth

and of the seas that are far away.

6 You make fast the mountains by your power; *

they are girded about with might.

7 You still the roaring of the seas, *

the roaring of their waves,

and the clamor of the peoples.

8 Those who dwell at the ends of the earth will tremble at your

marvelous signs; *

you make the dawn and the dusk to sing for joy.

9 You visit the earth and water it abundantly;

you make it very plenteous; *

the river of God is full of water.

10 You prepare the grain, *

for so you provide for the earth.

11 You drench the furrows and smooth out the ridges; *

with heavy rain you soften the ground and bless its increase.

12 You crown the year with your goodness, *

and your paths overflow with plenty.

13 May the fields of the wilderness be rich for grazing, *

and the hills be clothed with joy.

14 May the meadows cover themselves with flocks,

and the valleys cloak themselves with grain; *

let them shout for joy and sing.

Psalm 121

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills; *

from where is my help to come?

2 My help comes from the LORD, *

the maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot be moved *

and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.

4 Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel *

shall neither slumber nor sleep;

5 The LORD himself watches over you; *

the LORD is your shade at your right hand,

6 So that the sun shall not strike you by day, *

nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; *

it is he who shall keep you safe.

8 The LORD shall watch over your going out and

your coming in, *

from this time forth for evermore.

Psalm 111

1 Hallelujah!

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, *

in the assembly of the upright, in the congregation.

2 Great are the deeds of the LORD! *

they are studied by all who delight in them.

3 His work is full of majesty and splendor, *

and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 He makes his marvelous works to be remembered; *

the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 He gives food to those who fear him; *

he is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works *

in giving them the lands of the nations.

7 The works of his hands are faithfulness and justice; *

all his commandments are sure.

8 They stand fast for ever and ever, *

because they are done in truth and equity.

9 He sent redemption to his people;

he commanded his covenant for ever; *

holy and awesome is his Name.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; *

those who act accordingly have a good understanding;

his praise endures for ever.

Psalm 137

1 By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept, *

when we remembered you, O Zion.

2 As for our harps, we hung them up *

on the trees in the midst of that land.

3 For those who led us away captive asked us for a song,

and our oppressors called for mirth: *

"Sing us one of the songs of Zion."

4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song *

upon an alien soil?

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, *

let my right hand forget its skill.

6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth

if I do not remember you, *

if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy.

7 Remember the day of Jerusalem, O LORD,

against the people of Edom, *

who said, "Down with it! down with it!

even to the ground!"

8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, *

happy the one who pays you back

for what you have done to us!

9 Happy shall he be who takes your little ones, *

and dashes them against the rock!

Psalm 91:1-6, 14-16

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, *

abides under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 He shall say to the LORD,

"You are my refuge and my stronghold, *

my God in whom I put my trust."

3 He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter *

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He shall cover you with his pinions,

and you shall find refuge under his wings; *

his faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, *

nor of the arrow that flies by day;

6 Of the plague that stalks in the darkness, *

nor of the sickness that lays waste at mid-day.

14 Because he is bound to me in love,

therefore will I deliver him; *

I will protect him, because he knows my Name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; *

I am with him in trouble;

I will rescue him and bring him to honor.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, *

and show him my salvation.

Psalm 79:1-9

1 O God, the heathen have come into your inheritance;

they have profaned your holy temple; *

they have made Jerusalem a heap of rubble.

2 They have given the bodies of your servants as food for the

birds of the air, *

and the flesh of your faithful ones to the beasts

of the field.

3 They have shed their blood like water on every side

of Jerusalem, *

and there was no one to bury them.

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, *

an object of scorn and derision to those around us.

5 How long will you be angry, O LORD? *

will your fury blaze like fire for ever?

6 Pour out your wrath upon the heathen who have not

known you *

and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon

your Name.

7 For they have devoured Jacob *

and made his dwelling a ruin.

8 Remember not our past sins;

let your compassion be swift to meet us; *

for we have been brought very low.

9 Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your Name; *

deliver us and forgive us our sins, for your Name's sake.

Palm 14

1 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." *

All are corrupt and commit abominable acts;

there is none who does any good.

2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon us all, *

to see if there is any who is wise,

if there is one who seeks after God.

3 Every one has proved faithless;

all alike have turned bad; *

there is none who does good; no, not one.

4 Have they no knowledge, all those evildoers *

who eat up my people like bread

and do not call upon the LORD?

5 See how they tremble with fear, *

because God is in the company of the righteous.

6 Their aim is to confound the plans of the afflicted, *

but the LORD is their refuge.

7 Oh, that Israel's deliverance would come out of Zion! *

when the LORD restores the fortunes of his people,

Jacob will rejoice and Israel be glad.

Psalm 81:1, 10-16

1 Sing with joy to God our strength *

and raise a loud shout to the God of Jacob.

0 I am the LORD your God,

who brought you out of the land of Egypt and said, *

"Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it."

11 And yet my people did not hear my voice, *

and Israel would not obey me.

12 So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their hearts, *

to follow their own devices.

13 Oh, that my people would listen to me! *

that Israel would walk in my ways!

14 I should soon subdue their enemies *

and turn my hand against their foes.

15 Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, *

and their punishment would last for ever.

16 But Israel would I feed with the finest wheat *

and satisfy him with honey from the rock.

Psalm 103:1-8

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, *

and all that is within me, bless his holy Name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, *

and forget not all his benefits.

3 He forgives all your sins *

and heals all your infirmities;

4 He redeems your life from the grave *

and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness;

5 He satisfies you with good things, *

and your youth is renewed like an eagle's.

6 The LORD executes righteousness *

and judgment for all who are oppressed.

7 He made his ways known to Moses *

and his works to the children of Israel.

8 The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, *

slow to anger and of great kindness.
